The training of Navy SEALs DVDs show you just how much goes into the preparation of the men who protect our great nation.

The training of Navy SEALs series DVDs follow the 83 men of Class 234 selected for Basic Underwater Demolition (SEAL-BUDS) training have the toughest six months of their lives in sight. While they've been selected from over 1,500 applicants, only 32 of them will actually become U.S. Navy SEALs. In the training Navy Seals DVDs you go behind a structured world of sacrifice designed to force BUDS students to the limits of their physical and emotional endurance. Learn advanced SEAL training tactics and get to know the men of Class 234 as you follow them to their extreme physical and emotional limits.

Welcome to BudsMeet the 83 men of Class 234 who have been accepted into BUDS, the training program that forms the Navy SEALs, one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. Watch as they tackle Phase One, a physically grueling course designed to weed out all but the toughest and most dedicated. This is only day one of 26 weeks of unimaginable physical and emotional strain. Most will quit within the first weeks.

It Pays to Be a WinnerPhase One continues...the men are determined to survive the physically and mentally rigorous program and remain injury free. New students, injured in previous classes, are added to Class 234. With Hellweek looming, they learn basic lessons of survival, hoping to be one of the few to become a Navy SEAL. By the end of week one, half the class is gone.

Two Weeks and a Long DayBy the second week of BUDS training, many of the students have already dropped out. The remaining men still have 24 weeks of hardship. Students who are failing physically are put before the review boards where instructors will decide if they are dropped for lack of performance or rolled to the next class for medical leave. Each week they must improve, they must run faster and swim farther. Individuals do not survive, teammates do. Hellweek, the harshest part of training, is still on the horizon.

HellweekFor 24 hours a day, six days in a row, students are put through a demanding set of obstacles designed to test their commitment to becoming SEALs. Cold, wet, hungry and sleep-deprived, the men struggle to prove their resolve as each test is followed by a more difficult one, pushing the psychological limits of even the toughest competitors. Hellweek is the ultimate eliminator – ending with only 19 contenders.

The Only Easy Day was YesterdayUnderwater testing begins in both the ocean and pool in what may be the most difficult test of all. The men are immersed with hands and ft tied and competing at underwater swimming, overcoming their panic and fear. They undergo advanced scuba and re-breather training and the SEAL instructors weed out those who just can't make the grade.

The HomestretchThe men who've made it this far persevere -but still a few are pushed past the limits of their endurance. Witness the last months, weeks, days and minutes – discover which of these courageous souls graduate and become a U.S. Navy SEAL!

Buy the Navy SEALs series DVD Set, and watch in awe as the candidates put their heart and soul into the torturous regimen of the elite heroes.

I thought this was awesome and it is probably the most accurate show I've ever seen on military training not to mention the opportunity to see what it takes to be a navy seal. I have no idea what these guys get paid when they go out on real ops, but it can't be enough ! I know there is a lot that they can't show on tv for national security reasons, but if the congress ever attempts to cut military funding again PLEASE set them down and show them how critical it is to keep our country safe. And last but not least the "the instructors are great" Whoo Hoo !

I saw this program when it aired on TV. Now as a mom, I am purchasing this DVD set for my son. He is 13-yrs old and will be attending High School next year. He recently informed me he will be joining ROTC to prepare him for a military career, and he hopes to train for the NAVY SEALS. I believe this program will help him realize what will be required of him, and what he will need to require of himself. He's still got 4yrs of High School ahead of him, but no better time than the present to start preparing. Thank you for such an awesome program. All "reality" TV should be like this!

One of the training events that had the most impact on my life was my sojourn in US Navy SERE school prior to going to Viet Nam in 1969. It taught me a lot about myself and who I wanted to become. This DVD Set about SEAL Training reminded me of some of those lessons and extended the lessons by some distance. It shows the key learning that your limits lie far beyond what you think they are and that you can choose the attitude of mind to bring to the party. And it defines excellence as a purposeful, achievable quality of life that is worth seeking. I will use these ideas in my consulting and my university teaching.

Was very good, but the video is quite old and for the price I expected more of a recent top notch documentary. You still get the just of the tough seal training, but I would like an HD version with more detail about the individuals.

Not for the young and impressionable that may be prone to attempting activities seen in the training techniques. This DVD series gives an indepth look at the training the SEALS undergo, and leaves one with total admiration at their strength and determination. The SEALS are true survivors even before they attempt their first assigned missions in foreign lands. We were surprised and impressed with the access given to the videographers and producers in the making of this series.

im a seal to be and i diff say to others to get this .It shows a good bit of the training but not enough my uncle is ex spec opp so i no first hand there is much much more that you dont know about . you MUST have alot of hear any doubt at all and you will not make it i promise you if u go to B.U.D.S remember why your there at all times and if u havent gone yet ..run...alot lol look up traing guide on [@] ok thanks guys be easy

My boyfriend bought this dvd per his Navy Seal instructor to show him what he would be going through at B.U.D.S. if he decided training to be a Navy Seal was what he wanted to pursue. After watching it together we were just amazed with everything they had to go through. My boyfriend is now in B.U.D.S. Trainging and he says that he is more prepared to be there than alot of the other guys. That he was happy that he bought this dvd to show him before time what it was going to be like. F.Y.I. - This is only a dvd that open the doors to what training will be like... Being there and going through it is ALOT DIFFERENT and ALOT HARDER! We would highly recommend this DVD. HOOYAH!!

this is an amazing dose of reality.it demonstratesnot only the srength and determination of those seeking this high honor but also dictates the human side of those who could not attain this great distiction.it shows that these sailors are great warriors not only on the waters but thier diverstity to achieve greatness.i love to watch itseveral times a week disc by disc

For those outside looking in, this is a very close portrayal of SEAL training. I am a fanatic of all things military and now Spec Ops. I appreciate the insight it has given me to understand the world my better half lives and breathes every day. Please understand that the limitation in the videography is out of necessity for classified reasons; e.g. limited pool session clips, etc. Trainees themselves are not allowed to photograph. The only aspect I feel was not included is the life outside of the day-to-day training. These men's lives are very structured and limited. For someone to accurately understand the whole picture, especially young men aspiring to become a SEAL, I believe understanding the lifestyle commitment is just as crucial as the training. These men are "assets" who have had thousands and perhaps near millions of dollars invested into every trainee. Reckless behavior is not only the fastest way to end your career before it begins, but the quickest way to throw away the years you have invested in pursuing becoming a SEAL.

People who think reality TV is reality need to see this. They'll understand reality TV. Since seeing this I have never seen another like it. With on-site personal interviews and narration, this makes it the greatest thing out there. This is REALITY!! Great for those who attend physical rehab and need a push. This is bare bones, hard, solid yet intelligent training.

What an amazing look into the training of a SEAL. Not only did I never think I would be so close to the action, all the steps of the training process were explained in detail -- including quick interviews with the trainees themselves.Lastly, the trainers are hilarious (while beating the poor guys up!)

I enjoyed watching the DVDs and still watch certain parts (Dive Training and Hell Week) again and again. I wish they had spent a little more time filming pool sessions as opposed to other parts of training.
